When To Get 2016 Scion FR-S Suspension Service

When you first bought your 2016 Scion FR-S, the ride was probably so smooth that you didn’t even think about it! Lately, though, your ride’s been feeling a little bumpy. Maybe your FR-S jolts, sways to one side, or makes an unusual noise when going over a speed bump. As soon as you notice that something’s “off” with your 2016 Scion FR-S, bring it in for steering and suspension repairs. We'll figure out what needs to be taken care of, if anything.

The technicians at Firestone Complete Auto Care will start with a suspension inspection to diagnose your vehicle. We will examine the front and rear end suspension, shocks, springs, struts, bushings, CV joints and axles, chassis components, wheel bearings, and the power steering system. We’ll get to the root of the issue and, if your FR-S suspension system needs repair, we'll explain all of your options and the potential cost. If your FR-S steering or suspension system requires replacement parts, we may also recommend an alignment. Replacing these parts can change the existing ride height and wheel angles.

Scion FR-S Shock & Strut Replacement Services

Shocks and struts are important parts of your 2016 Scion FR-S suspension system. They help you stay in control as your car handles bumpy roads and uneven terrain. While the struts support the structure of the suspension, the shocks keep the car from bouncing too much. These pieces work together to help dampen vibration and hold the car off the ground. However, there’s no set schedule for when you should replace your FR-S’s shocks and struts since many factors can impact the wear rate and severity. A bouncy ride, side-to-side swaying, or rocking back and forth could all be signs of worn Scion FR-S shocks and struts. It’s a good idea to have your 2016 Scion FR-S’s shocks and struts regularly checked out by a certified auto technician. Save yourself the shock of steering and suspension problems by scheduling an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care.

2016 FR-S Steering & Suspension Questions

  • Does treadwear and tire pressure impact my FR-S's steering and suspension? Maintaining your tires can help reduce strain on the suspension, and also alert you to the need for new tires. A tire that doesn't have an adequate amount of tread can't grip the road or function as well as the manufacturer intended.
  • Are routine tire rotations and wheel alignments important for my Scion FR-S? Alignment and rotation seem like minor services, but they have a major impact on your vehicle. Such services help ensure that the right amount of pressure is being applied to your tires and that the tires connect with the road how Scion intended.
  • Does my Scion FR-S power steering fluid need to be checked? Have your power steering fluid checked when you get an oil change or every few months. If your FR-S is low on power steering fluid, we’ll top it off per Scion's guidelines to help ensure proper suspension operation.
  • Why does my Scion FR-S bounce so much? Excessive bouncing in your Scion FR-S might be due to damaged struts or shocks that are unable to absorb road bumps effectively, causing your vehicle to feel more like a pogo stick than a smooth ride.
  • What can cause the front end of my FR-S to dip forward when I apply the brakes? The forward momentum and weight transfer to the front wheels during braking can cause your FR-S's front end to dip forward. A damaged or faulty suspension system may fail to distribute the weight and force effectively, causing the front end to dip even more.
  • What are the signs that the shocks on my Scion FR-S need replacing? Worn shock absorbers can’t absorb road bumps well, making your FR-S feel like it’s leaning or swaying when you turn. You may also experience more shaking, rocking, or bouncing than usual as your FR-S travels over minor bumps.
